Book Information: Palms and Minarets

Palms and Minarets displays in one volume the full range and virtuosity of Vincent O'Sullivan's short fiction, stories described as "impressive for their close, exceptionally vivid and precise descriptions of people and place, and for their sadness, pitiless truth, and sardonic humour".

As well as work from his four previous volumes, there are new stories that extend his satirical range, his formal experimentation, and a range of settings that now extends from Hamilton to Ravenna, New York to Western Australia.
